  • Coleman Owen WR | IND

    Colts' Coleman Owen: Lands with Indianapolis

    The Colts signed Owen to a reserve/future contract Monday.

    The undrafted rookie out of Ohio spent a majority of the season on Indianapolis' practice squad, appearing in two games with 20 total snaps (19 on special teams and one offensive) and accounting for 143 total return yards. Owen will have the opportunity to participate in the Colts' offseason activities and attempt to earn a spot on their active roster next season.

  • Treylon Burks WR | WAS

    Commanders' Treylon Burks: Ends season with quiet game

    Burks caught two of four targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Eagles.

    Burks worked as Washington's No. 3 receiver throughout much of the second half of the season, ultimately catching just 10 of 22 targets for 130 yards and a touchdown in eight games. The 2022 first-round pick is scheduled for unrestricted free agency this offseason.

  • Rams' Konata Mumpfield: Ends regular season with a dud

    Mumpfield failed to secure his only target during Sunday's 37-20 victory against the Cardinals.

    The seventh-round pick out of Pittsburgh had a fairly quiet rookie year, finding a modest amount of playing time as a backup but never really gaining much momentum on the stat sheet. Mumpfield finished the regular season with a 10-92-1 line on 23 targets, ahead of only Blake Corum's 36 receiving yards. There were a few positives for Mumpfield, as he was on the field for all 17 regular-season contests, and he saw regular usage as a primary backup for Puka Nacua and Davante Adams (hamstring) on offense alongside Xavier Smith after mostly staying on the bench for the first six games of the season. Mumpfield will get his first taste of the NFL postseason on Saturday, as the Rams travel to Carolina for a wild-card showdown.

  • DK Metcalf WR | PIT

    Steelers' DK Metcalf: Back from suspension

    Metcalf will return to action for the Steelers' Jan. 12 wild-card matchup with the Texans after his two-game suspension was lifted Monday, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

    Metcalf was handed the two-game ban following the Steelers' Week 16 win in Detroit after the NFL determined that he initiated a physical confrontation with a fan during that contest. Without their top wideout over the final two games of the regular season, the Steelers lost to the Browns in Week 17 but were able to punch their ticket to the postseason by claiming the AFC North crown with a 26-24 win over the Ravens on Sunday. Though the Steelers face a daunting matchup in the wild-card round against a staunch Texans defense, the return of Metcalf will at least give Pittsburgh a much-needed downfield threat on the perimeter. Over his 15 appearances during the regular season, Metcalf recorded 59 catches for 850 yards and six touchdowns on 99 targets to go with two carries for 12 yards and another score.

  • Xavier Smith WR | LAR

    Rams' Xavier Smith: Little impact in win

    Smith secured one of two targets for six yards, returned one punt for nine yards and returned one kickoff for 27 yards during Sunday's 37-20 victory over the Cardinals.

    A week removed from leading the Rams in receiving yards, Smith fell back to Earth in a big way against Arizona, reverting back to his typical output throughout the 2025 campaign. Smith was fourth on the Rams in receiving yardage with 303 yards on 24 catches and no touchdowns. Smith's role grew as the season progressed, settling in as one of the primary backups behind starters Puka Nacua and Davante Adams (hamstring). Smith will be an exclusive-rights free agent after the postseason and will be a candidate for a one-year deal to return to the Rams as a return specialist and role player at wide receiver once again. Smith's next opportunity to produce comes in a road matchup against Carolina in the wild-card round on Saturday.

  • Tutu Atwell WR | MIA

    Rams' Tutu Atwell: Records 10 snaps on offense

    Atwell secured one of three targets for 19 yards during Sunday's 37-20 victory against the Cardinals.

    Even with Davante Adams (hamstring) out and Jordan Whittington (knee) leaving the game early with injury, Atwell was on the field for just a handful of snaps on offense. The one-year, $10 million deal Atwell signed in the offseason will leave the speedster as an unrestricted free agent after the postseason, and he'll do so after his worst statistical season since his rookie year with the Rams in 2021. Atwell played just 10 games this season and caught six of his 15 targets for 192 yards and a touchdown, a stark drop from 2024 when he finished with a 42-562-0 receiving line over 17 games. Even if Adams and Whittington are unavailable for Saturday's wild-card round matchup with the Panthers, Puka Nacua, Konata Mumpfield and Xavier Smith will likely record the bulk of work at receiver, leaving Atwell in his typical role as a scarcely used deep threat.

  • Bears' Olamide Zaccheaus: Minimal involvement late

    Zaccheaus was not targeted in the Bears' 19-16 loss to the Lions on Sunday.

    Zaccheaus played only six snaps and closed the season with 39 receptions (on 65 targets) for 313 yards and two touchdowns. He opened the year as the primary slot receiver but failed to record more than two catches in any of his final seven games as Luther Burden's role increased. Zaccheaus is set to hit free agency and profiles as a depth receiver entering 2026.

  • Rome Odunze WR | CHI

    Bears' Rome Odunze: Sidelined again with foot injury

    Odunze was inactive in the Bears' 19-16 loss to the Lions on Sunday.

    Odunze missed the final five games of the season with a foot injury after finishing his second year with 44 receptions (on 90 targets) for 661 yards and six touchdowns. He posted four games with at least 62 receiving yards through the first half of the season before averaging 36 yards over his final five appearances. He just completed the second year of his rookie contract and remains positioned as a long-term building block if the passing volume expands in 2026. The team is hoping to get Odunze back for the wild-card game against the Packers on Saturday.

  • Dolphins' Cedrick Wilson: Ends 2025 season with a dud

    Wilson failed to secure either of his targets during Miami's 38-10 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.

    Wilson failed to secure more than a single catch in any of the 10 regular-season appearances he logged with the Dolphins in 2025, finishing the year with a 5-44-0 receiving line on nine targets. The 30-year-old veteran is set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason. Whether he re-signs with Miami or competes for a depth role elsewhere, Wilson's best odds of sticking with a team for the 2026 campaign will likely be as a member of a practice squad.

  • Ravens' DeAndre Hopkins: Plays depth role in Baltimore

    Hopkins caught 22 of 39 targets for 330 yards and two touchdowns across 17 games in 2025.

    The veteran joined the Ravens on a one-year deal in the offseason and started the season strong. He caught touchdowns in each of his first two games and was remarkably efficient through the first six weeks of the season; Hopkins caught nine of 13 passes for 178 yards and two scores in that span. His best game the rest of the way was four catches for 41 yards. In fairness, it was a topsy-turvy year for the Ravens offense as it had to navigate a Lamar Jackson injury, but Hopkins still only managed to play 33 percent of the snaps. Hopkins, who turns 34 in June, will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason.
